    Ahh that's exciting pugsley! Yeah we booked them up last winter after finding them on gumtree, loved their pics online and great value. Love seeing all their pics from recent weddings on facebook and we just felt really at ease in their presence. Your wedding is first so excited to see your pics! Smiley smile

    Our hotel in kenya (the week on the beach) is Baobab Beach Resort in Diani beach. We're in a kole kole suite, and on the thomson best of kenya 7 night safari.

    So almost another two months have passed... far too quickly for my liking! Have been busy with xmas etc but have been getting things done here and there.

    Bump!

    Have updated the planning thread accordingly, areas include dress, suits, our minimoon that we booked today, invitation drafts, confetti, table numbers, getting ready outfits...

    Thank you! Only booked the minimoon thisi morning, it was an impulse buy haha - we figured after the wedding (which is a thursday) we are not back at work until the tuesday so may as well get away for the weekend so we dont get the blues Smiley smile then the proper honeymoon in july Smiley smile yippee! so excited for april (hen) and beyond this year is going to be great Smiley smile

    Bumping and updating has got me back in the googling mood too, just bought my wedding underwear as well! Only need a bottom as dress is corseted and found these on Agent Provocateur - were £85 down to £45 + £5 postage... There are lots of sizes on there in the sale.. Get in there fellow brides!! Smiley smile



    *Bottom not included* (damn!!)

    Good question elixia, I'm not actually sure, a little look on pinterest has rounded it down to a few:

    opi

    * second honeymoon

    * let them eat rice cake

    * mimosas for mr & mrs

    * so many clowns so little time

    * sweetheart

    * bubble bath

    You're more organised than me and I only have 36 days!

    As for the sexy panties, well, mine are more 'hold it all in and flatten it all down' kind of knickers, nothing sexy about it!
